Battle Ruleset:

The battle rulesets were of Silenced Summoner and Close Range. The allowed mana cap was 17and all Splinter's summoners were active in this battle.

Battle Summoner

In this battle, I chose the Zintar Mortalis as a summoner because I have upgraded this summoner to level 4, and most of the time it is easy for me to win battles with it. It is a beta edition Rare Death Splinter Summoner that costs 3 mana and has one ability which is to reduce the melee attack of all melee attack monsters in the enemy team by -1. Most of the time I use it in the battles because this is my favorite splinter summoner and it was the first summoner I upgraded in this game at the beginning. I have upgraded it to level 4 and mostly I am using it in my battles. Under this summoner, I can use up to level 5 common cards.

1. HAUNTED SPIRIT

As usual, in the first position, I used HAUNTED SPIRIT which is a beta edition rare melee attack monster from the Death Splinter. Most of the time I use it in the first position because of its healing ability. It costs 5 mana, does -2 melee damage, and has Heal ability at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 4 in which its melee attack increases to 3 and also gains one more ability Reflection. I mostly use this Death Splinter card in my battles because it is my favorite card that I use in the first position of the Death Splinter deck. I prefer to use it in the low-mana battles because it works really well for me. Also, this battle mana was low so I prefer to use the death splinter and the low mana cards in it. I used it in the first position because of its Healing and Reflection abilities.

2. SHADOWY PRESENCE:

In the second position, I used SHADOWY PRESENCE which is a reward edition Epic no-attack monster from the Death Splinter. It is a no-attack monster that costs 1 mana and has no ability at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 3 in which it gains one ability Strengthen which increases 1 life of all friendly monsters. I used it in the second position and in this battle because of its strength ability. Currently, I have this monster at level 3.

3. FALLEN SPECTER:

In the third position, I used FALLEN SPECTER which is also a reward edition legendary magic attack monster from the Death Splinter. It costs 2 mana, does -1 magic attack, and has one ability Flying at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 2 in which it gains one more ability Demoralize. I used it in this battle and in the third position because it cost only 2 mana and the battle mana cap was very low so I prefer to use monsters of low mana. Using this monster worked very well for me in winning this battle.

4. UNDEAD PRIEST:

In the fourth position, I used UNDEAD PRIEST which is a Beta edition rare no-attack monster at level 1 from the Death splinter. It costs 2 mana, does not attack, and has a Weaken ability at level 1. When I started this game I upgraded the Death Splinter first and it was one of the cards that I upgraded early because of its magic attack along with the Weaken ability. I have upgraded it to level 3 for a -1 magic attack. Same as the Fallen Specter it costs only 2 mana so I used it in this battle.

5. RAVENHOOD WARDEN:

In the fifth position, I used RAVENHOOD WARDEN which is a reward edition rare range attack monster from the Death Splinter. It costs 4 mana, does a -2 range attack, and has Protect ability at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 3 in which its range attack increases to -2. I used it in the fifth position and in this battle because of its Protect ability which will give +2 armor to all friendly monsters.

6. FURIOUS CHICKEN:

In the first position, I used FURIOUS CHICKEN which is also a reward edition rare no-attack monster from the neutral splinter. It is the rarest card in the SplinterlandsIt because it costs 0 mana and belongs to a neutral splinter(we can use it in all battles except when there is a change in the ruleset). It costs 0 mana, does no attack at level 1, and also has no ability at level 1. I have upgraded it to level 3 for 1 melee attack. Here in this battle, I used it in the last position because if the enemy team has used a Sneak ability monster it will be targeted and my other monsters will be safe.
